What do you think about reading books?

Question:

What do you think about reading books?

i overheard someone saying at the library, "read a book - nourish your soul".
this got me thinking about how nice it is to read. what are your thoughts and what is your favourite book? (if you have one).
what types of novels do you like? who is the best writer in this century?

i know - a lot of questions but answer any of them!

My favorite book is Stargirl by Jerri Spinelli! I love it a whole lot! I think reading definitely helps with your writing and speaking skills becuase it improves both your vocabulary and your spelling. :-) Books are awesome.
